Title: How can I move the block data? Post by: thejoshanater on January 21, 2014, 02:56:27 AM I've got a lilte 80 GB SSD that filled up and I couldn't figure out where the space had all gone. I got WinDirStat and figured it out its all the cyptocoin wallet's block data hidden in the Appdata folder. Between Bitcoin QT, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and Worldcoin I'm using 20GB. How can I store the block data on my other drive?

Post by: AltorXP on January 21, 2014, 03:08:48 AM Go to C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME HERE\AppData\Roaming\_Coin_Name_Here and copy all the files in the database folder (for Peercoin, this is what It'd be: C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\PPCoin\database) Then you copy all the .log files, and once you download the QT files for all your coins on another hard drive, you start up the QT (then close it before it connects) and go to app data >> paste the .logs there

In windows I'm looking at properties (got to by right click) --> shortcut tab. I see Target:, Start in:, and shortcut key:. Do I had your command to the end of one of those or do something different?

(add a space between the quote and dash) It might look for your wallet.dat in this folder, so make sure you have a backup and don't freak out if that happens.

Post by: thejoshanater on January 21, 2014, 05:09:31 AM of the appdata/roaming/bitcoin folder I just copy and pasted the blocks folder and the wallet.dat into the new one linked to with the command. The rest of the files generated and the money is there. Thanks guys
